Bakersfield Family Photographer | Lifestyle Family Photos
Bakersfield Family Photographer
We don’t do stiff poses or forced smiles. As your local Bakersfield family photographers, we photograph your family the way you actually are. Chasing each other through a field at Wind Wolves, piling onto the couch at home, or going on a family outing at the ice cream shop. Those are the photos that end up on the wall.
As parents ourselves, we know exactly how unpredictable kids can be in front of a camera. We’re patient, playful, and skilled at helping even the most camera-shy toddler forget we’re there. We also know families come in all shapes and sizes. A couple and their dog. A blended family. An adoptive family. Or any other way people build a home together. As a blended family ourselves, we love capturing whatever your version of family looks like.
For Bakersfield and Kern County families who want real, not rehearsed.
"The best thing about memories is making them with family."
How it Works
01. Consultation
Congratulations on deciding to capture your family's special moments! To secure your session date, we only require a $100 deposit, regardless of the collection you choose. The remaining balance can be divided into monthly installments leading up to your session. Once you've signed your contract and made your deposit, it's time to start looking forward to creating beautiful memories together!
02. Book
Now that your family session is officially booked, let's create something beautiful together! We'll begin by scheduling your session, which is the perfect chance for everyone to get comfortable in front of the camera and experience our workflow. These images will be the perfect way to announce and celebrate your family's journey together!
03. Planning
Prior to your family session, we'll schedule a virtual consultation to plan out the details. This way, we can ensure that every moment is captured without missing a beat! We'll go over locations, wardrobe styling, meeting time/location etc. All the fun stuff!
04. Your Session
It's time for your session, and we're dedicated to ensuring it's everything you envisioned! Dance, laugh, and create beautiful memories with your family – these moments will be cherished for years to come!
05. Delivery Day
After the laughter fades and the moments settle, there's still a chance to revisit the joy of your family session! Approximately two to four weeks after your session, your gallery will be ready to view, share, and download. Relive the special moments from your family's time together, ensuring that the memories of your wonderful session last a lifetime!
06. Album Design
After the delivery of your photographs, we will get together and relive the beautiful moments all over and begin designing your official album. We love the convenience that digital photographs provide, however a gorgeous handcrafted album bring your images to life like they were meant to be viewed. These are your memories preserved to withstand to test of time.
the v&S portrait experience
For many of our clients, a session isn't complete without the dog. We love it. Bring them along. We'll work with whatever chaos they bring, and those are usually the frames everyone loves most.
Pro tip: bring a handler. Someone to keep your pet occupied between shots and wrangle them just in time for the good ones. Treats help too.
Pets are family, too!
